No PTR record.

PTR record exists.

SpamAssassin (or BOTNET, I'm not familiar with the code to know
which one parses the headers in this instance) is seemingly
picking the wrong Received header to work on. Could be your
trusted_networks or internal_networks settings?

If you don't mind, maybe you could send me off-list a complete
copy of the headers of this test message? I can't guarantee
anything, but I'll run it through SpamAssassin here to see if I
can work anything out.

Thanks,

Matthew
